Introduction

This site was created with the intention of answering the following question:

How has the quality of education/opportunities in the past 30 years differed in different kinds of schools, as well as for different types of British Columbian students (i.e., indigenous? Special needs?)?

Note that although this is just one question, it is a very complex one, and so naturally, a lot of data is required to answer it. Thus, this website uses open data from British Columbia–specifically, the 1992-2021 data on grade-to-grade transition published by British Columbia Education Analytics. To gather information regarding the districts, this site also uses information regarding each district’s office, also published by the British Columbia Education Analytics. By using the grade-to-grade transitions as a metric for the quality of education/opportunities, we can formulate a nuanced response to the question.
